Abstract:
A client system may generate a new key pair for a secrets management process. The client may generate a shared secret using the private key of the new key pair and a public key of a secrets management server. Using the shared secret, the client may derive an encryption key and encrypt a data payload for subsequent decryption by the secrets management server. Upon encryption of the data payload, the client may erase the private key. Subsequently, the client or an associated client may call the secrets management server for decryption of the data payload. The secrets management server may derive the encryption key using the public key associated with the encrypted payload and the private key of the secrets management server and use the encryption key to decrypt the data payload for use by the client or an associated client.
